Needless to say I failed all my math tests and consequently flunked math during my high school years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOne day I saw the murals of Jose Clemente Orozco in my hometown and I immediately wanted to learn how to paint. My goal was to enroll in painting school, but I could not afford to pay for the tuition fees for the prestigious \"Escuela de Artes Plasticas\" in Guadalajara University, and had to put my dream of becoming a painter on the back burner.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eA couple of years later, in 1972, I came to the US, at the time getting a job and learning english, became priority number one, I kept drawing whenever i had some time to myself, I didn't get to paint at all due to lack of space in my small apartment, It wasn't until 2011, that I started painting regularly. I'm pretty much self-taught, I did take a couple of painting classes, at UCLA extension, and CSUN. Nevertheless I have developed my painting skills, by practicing on a daily basis I considered myself a figuratixe expressionist artist. I like to fill my canvases with emphatic brushstrokes and bold colors. I want to make paintings that are visually pleasing, for the viewer and observer and for them to feel the emotional expression of my interior vision of the subject matter. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMy work celebrates life, passion, happiness, vitality and energy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LagunaART.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45840310927639,"sku":"","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/0219\/3473\/files\/sergioReclyningwoman18x58Acrylicandoilstick_759ea3fa-e88f-4845-8151-7940b448d288.jpg?v=1689895633","url":"https:\/\/lagunaart-com.myshopify.com\/products\/reclyning-woman-by-sergio-mariscal-acrylic-and-oil-stick-on-canvas","provider":"LagunaART.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
